REV. DIR. THOMAS held his first SER
vice since the vacation, at McVicker's
Theater, on Sunday morning. The SER
mon bad reference to the tendencies of
the religious thought of the present
time. In DIR. Thomas's opinion the
illogical thought is slowly but surely
gravitating toward the old Greek the
ology which taught the immanence of
God and the inherent relation of man
to his Creator. His remarks also in
cluded an exposition of the Latin the
ology, which taught that God was to be
localized, that man was fallen and de-
PRAYED creature, and that there was no
tie between him and his Creator, ex-
cept as one is established by supernat-
ural agencies. DR.. Thomas recognizes
very clearly the trend of modern relig-
ious thought, and is always felicitous
in his statements regarding it.

DIR. TOWNSHIPS "New Theology
Herald" having failed to maintain an
independent existence, has fallen into
the open arms of Unity, and heneeforth
will make common cause with that Pc
riodical, the organ of the ethical move
ment among the Unitarians, which has
steadily opposed the recognition of
Christianity in any statement of Uni
tartan belief, and is not a theological
exponent in any shape, form or manner.

-QUEsTIoNs.-Can God be omnipotent
ana yet be defeated in any of his pur-
poses? We should like to have some
Methodist friend answer this question.
Again can he be omniscient, and yet be
disappointed in any of his designs? This
question needs no snswer-it answers it.
self. Once more, can God be infinitely
benevolent, and yet ordain or permit the
infinite misery of any Of his dependent
creatures. Calvinists or Arminians may
answer this, at their leisure.

-WHY is that prophecy Of the Old Tes-
lament which speaks of "the Desire of all
nations" generally regarded as applicable
to Jesus Christ? Because the doctrines
which he taught are precisely what all
nations desire. And what do all people
desire9 Certainly they desire salvation
and eternal life. Well, Christ came to
bring salvation to the ends of the earth,
He came to "give eternal life to as many
as the Father had given him." and the
Father we also read, "gave all things
into his hands," As the result, Christ
has promised that "he will draw all men
unto him." that "no man can come unto
him except the Father who sent him
draw him." and that call who thus,
come unto him shall in no wise be cast
out" No wonder then, that Jesus should
be SO generally called the Desire of all
Nations.

THE Publishing House has just sent
a circular, enclosing postal card, to our
ministers throughout the country, calling
for certain items Of personal information
for the Register of next year. with
your assistance" the circular says, "the
Register for 1883 can be made to repre-
sent the exact condition of our church
in all it's interests, up to the first of Octo-
Der, 1887, but if your aid is withheld, it is
likely to be incorrect. The value of the
Register wholly depends on its accuracy,
and the slight service which we desire
you to render in order that we may have
Register that will not mislead any one,
will not, we trust, be refused" We hope
that none OF the brethren will fail to fill
out the postal card, leaving the editor in
the lurch, and then complain of errors
affecting themselves or their parish next
year. This has been the case heretofore
in some instances. Let all send on the
postal card, with the blanks duly filled,
and reasonably correct Register may be
expected.

-THE nineteenth annual session of
the Kansas Universalist Convention con-
venes in Hutchinson this week. It meets
in one of the blooming" towns of the
State, rapidly growing railroad centre,
where the people are all alive with activ-
ity and where vigor and enterprise are
necessary to respectable existence. We
hope the Convention will give the people
of Hutchinson good impression of our
cause in the State, and that the business
proceedings and public services may be,
in all respects, worthy of the occasion.
We notice that Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, of
Waunets, the Methodist minister whose
two articles in THE UNIvERsALIsT some
months ago we're read with SO much in
terest, is on the program for sermon.
We hope he will be duly on hand to
make the acquaintance of the brethren.

THE followers of Charles Bradlaugh,
of England, the atheistical lecturer, very
recently circulated among the frequenters
of their Hall of Science, an extract from
one of Rev. Mr.. Surgeons sermons, de-
scribing in terrific language eternal pun
ishment in an eternal hell, as an example
of the Christian belief in future retribu-
ton. 1t is in this way that Orthodoxy
and Atheism join hands, the believers in
the one furnishing material for the other.
Nothing can be palmer than the fact that
if there were less of the orthodox teach
ing on the subject OF destiny, there would
be less infidelity and unbelief of all kinds
1t is the Surgeons that make the Brad
laughs and the Talmages the Ingersolls
of Europe and America.

that Rev. George @. Haddock had for years
entertained a doubt as to eternal punish

positive denial.
This minister still further adds: "There

THE UNITARIAN, for September, has
this paragraph:

We are glad to hear that Rev. Robert
Spears, of London, is coming to America for
a visit. Mr.. Spears has always been one of
our most earnest and devoted ministers.
For some years he was secretary of the Brit
ish and Foreign Unitarian Association, and
has done much to foster the new activity and
dlstinctlvely Christian feeling which have
marked our English Unitarian church life
during the present generation. He has been
the e1itor of the Christian Life from its COM
mencement. He comes as one of party, of
whom the others are Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Lawrence-two of our most public spirited
London Unitarians-and Mr.. Courtney Ken
ny, M. p.
We understand that Mr.. Spears and
company will sail sometime this month
They take passage for Quebec. We trust
that his engagements will permit him to
attend our General Convention in New
York in Octob Der, where he would receive
warm welcome. Robert Spears is
brave, manly ard true-hearted Universal
list, and while connected with the Unita-
rians, is in full sympathy with Amer
lean Universalism. The editor met Mr..
Spears in London in 1872, and remem bers
him as kind and considerate friend.
He has also been the stesdfast friend OF
Mrs. Soule from the beginning of her
Glasgow parish; and Rev. Mr.. Orosley,
and recently DIR. Hanson, have each re-
ceived constant courtesy at his hands.
Indeed all Universalists visiting London
are sure of brotherly welcome from Rob-
ert Spears. We hope to greet MIN some
time during his American soiourn, and
can assure him that if he attends our
General Convention he will meet with a
very cordial reception. We again express
the hope that the plans of himself and
company will permit him to give us the
pleasure of his attendance on that occa,
sion.

The second instalment of Mrs. @. A.
Soule's Fortnight Among the Irish" is
printed on the sixth page this week, Our
readers will be pleased to learn that these
articles are likely to occupy their place
on that page for month TO come. They
are charmingly written, and are full of
the little feminine details which delight
our lady readers, and that at the same
time are not without interest for those
of the "sterner sex" We have read
these articles with great pleasure. So
far as we can see they are the equal in
literary merit of Miss Mulock's Unsen-
timental Journey Through Cornwall" or
her more recent description of ireland
as an unvisited country. Indeed Mre.
Soule's writings remind us constantly of
the author Of "John Halifax, Gentlemen"
Certainly our readers have rare pleasure
in following the record of her fortnight's
holiday in Ireland. Give Mrs. Soule a year
in the "green isle Of beauty and of song"
and what book she would make! Such

Old-Tine Metal,

On the 23d of April last, man, giving
the name of J. NJ. Rose Woodland, called
al the Office of j. Eitel, assayer, on street,
and left several pieces of metal to be as
sayed, claiming it to be ore, and having
with him also about forty five pounds of
the same. Mr.. Eitel took the metal and
made a partial assay and found it con-
tanned copper and tin, and some gold and
silver assaying about Is cents to the pound,
and being what is called by assayists spec
ulum metal. Thinking perhaps it was a
hoax, Eitel did not finish the assay, but
took the material over to the railroad shops
to see if they used anything OF that kind,
but found to the contrary. Mr.. Rose left
word to send an answer to him at Wood
land. Mr.. Eitel sent him a letter, which
went to the Dead Letter Office, as the party
could not be found, and is as yet unheard
of. Mr.. Eitel considers it very important
matter, as the man claimed 10 have discov-
cred deposit of it larger than an ordinary
room and it is a metal such as the ancients
| used for refiectors, daggers, bronze images,
etc. 1t is very hard, and takes a number
of years TO make. One piece in particular
having the appearance of being very old,
was covered at one end with oxidizei iron
Mr.. Eitel thinks, if it is not hoax, it is &
portion of the ruins of some ancient city,
built perhaps by the mound-builders.
There is something remarkable about it at
least

lone City, in Amador county, is one of
the most enterprising as well as beautiful
towns in California. Her people are noted
for their push, energy and hospitality. 1t
is the center of most fertile and product
i've valley, and has within it the elements
that some day will make populous and
wealthy interior city. The Twenty sixth
Agricultural District is composed of the
counties of Amador and Calayeras, and the
citizens of lone have succeeded in securing
the holding of the district fairs in their
town. The fact that it is situa' ed at the
terminus of the Amador Branch Railroad
easy of access, makes it the most desirable
location in the District, and the Directors
are sparing no pains to make it one of the
most attractive in the State, and O credit
not only to that rich agricultural and min
eral section. but to the entire northern and
central portion of California. Their pa
vilion is large and commodious, well
lighted, and situated in the central portion
of the town. Their race-track, in the east
ern suburbs of the city, is mile
regulation track, laid out by j. c. Pierson,
of this city. and will be second to none on
the coast. The track is being made, the
grand stand, etc., erected, by a large force
of men under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Hon.
L. S. Gregory, one of the Directors of the
Association, who is devoting all his time
and energy to their early completion. The
citizens of lone are liberal in their contri-
buttons, but the proposed Improvements,
which by the way are all permanent, are so
expensive that they have asked public
spirited individuals elsewhere to assist. Two
of the Directors, 3. Isaacs and Geo. Woolsey.
wealthy and influential citizens of lone !;
visited San Francisco and are now in this
city soliciting aid. The merchants in San
Francisco contributed quite liberally-in
fact, the committee received much larger
sum at the Bay than they anticipated.
However, the greatest surprise for them
was in Sacramento. Here they expected
to do something, but not half so well as in
the metropolis. The Capital City, however,
saw the toll-gatherer' of the Golden Gate
and went her a few better" The first
firm approached gave $3.50, several contri-
buted 500 each, a large number $50, and
nowhere were Messrs. Isaacs and Woolsey
put off. One of the committee said to re-
porter last evening: The liberality of
your merchants, their public spirit, their
encouraging words, have simply paralyZed
us. If we had come to Sacramento before
| going to San Francisco, we could have
done much better at the latter city. The
| liberal donations of Sacramento's business
men would have caused those in San Fran
cisco to at least give twice as much as they
did, although their donations can only be
regarded as quite liberal. Sacramento,

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE GRAND HOTEL.

The Great improvements Made to the
Property by VIM. Land.
The Grand Hotel property, purchased
lately bv VIM. Land. has been remodeled
and changed entirely. The building is of
three stories and basement, and has a
frontage OF eighty feet on K street and
seventy-ive on Front street. The inside
walls on the first floor have been removed
entirely and a new floor laid, making a
room IS by so feet. with an re by 20 feet
running to the alley, and containing 5000
superficial feet This floor is supported by
heavy joists, resting on brick pillars or
walls twenty inches wide, and built for
holding heavy weight.
Upon this floor a fine office 30 by 40 feet
is located, arranged with the latest i'm
provements in office furniture. There is
also a sample room, 20 by 20 feet. Going
from this floor to the basement, we find a
place which has no superior in the State
as regards appointments for business
house. In hight it is feet 4 inches in the
clear, and has q concrete floor laid the en-
tire length and breadth of the basement
including the spaces under the sidewalks,
being an area of about 10 300 superficial feet
This floor is laid eleven inches above the
highest water mark known, and can easily
be kept clean, being so laid as 10 drain to a
waste pipe connecting with the streetsewer
In the extreme eastern end of the basement
are three rooms, about 20 by 30
feet, designated as the butter, cheese
and ham rooms, and are of the latest style,
having air shafts running through them to
exhaust the heated air, keeping them as
cool, almost, as an ice-house. In fact, a
person feels uncomfortable in them with
out an oyercoat. There is a latest improved
hydraulic elevator from this floor to the
third floor. An air shaft about feet SQUARE
furnishes pure air and light to the portion
of the basement furthest from the street,
and headlights laid in the sidewalk fur
nish light for the remainder of the base
ment, and in that respect it is excellently
provided without the aid of gas. Chutes
are connected with the basement, so that
goods can be handily delivered in 1t from
the street. On the second floor is an = L y
20 feet wide, running the entire length OF
the building, east and west, in which light
goods, such as tea and coffee, are placed.
1t is fitted with bins for the reception OF
these goods. In the extreme eastern end is
a sample room for hops. The portion OF
the building described above is leased to
Mebius d Co. for ten years, and the firm
has just taken possession.
The remainder of the building is fitted
up as lodging house, having AZ rooms,
and is leased by Mrs J. Drake. The rooms
are all well-lighted and airy, and are ar
ranged so that they can be turned into
suites or used as single rooms at will. All
have been newly plastered and painted and
furnished handsomely, showing that Mr.
Land spared neither money nor pains in
the remodeling of this as well as the lower
portion of the structure. The entire ex.
terror of the building has been plastered
and painted, and new sidewalk laid around
